In this podcast, recent findings from toxicological studies on the emissions produced during fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing are discussed. The use of low-cost FFF 3D printers is on the rise in households, businesses, and educational settings, enabling the creation of 3D objects from digital models. However, this process releases volatile organic compounds, ultrafine particles, and metal oxides, which could potentially pose health risks to users. Of significant concern is the potential harm to children, who may be disproportionately affected due to uncontrolled exposure to ultrafine particles in confined spaces, such as classrooms and libraries. Dr. Kyle Mandler comprehensively addresses the characteristics and human health effects of these FFF 3D printer emissions and propose effective recommendations for mitigating exposure to these emissions.
